Did you take any photos from the side?

I'm pretty sure it's a nymph of a Carolina Grasshopper - Dissosteira carolina. However, the pronotum is deformed, and I'm not 100% certain. Could be a species of Spharagemon, or something else related.

Carolina Grasshopper

After reviewing the guide I think you are right on about it being a Carolina Grasshopper. Sadly, it jumped away after the pick. I am terrible at identifying Orthoptera as adults or nymphs.
